The recent shocking events that have taken
place in Paris are the consequence of the wrong-doings the NATO have taken in
their international security politic. We couldn’t have foreseen that Stade de
France, Baclatan etc. would be struck by terrorism last Friday, but a situation
like that was already in the grid of international defense organizations. The
threat now has put Europe on the edge of anger and panic, and all men know a
combination of these both plus any kind of power don’t result in good things;
just look back at the twentieth century and the answer will be clear.
Demonstrations of support towards the people of
France and Paris all over the world have been attacked by people arguing that
Sirian, Palestine, Sudaní and others lives matter too; yes they do. But social networks
such as Facebook and Twitter are flooding with comments of people criticizing their
"amies", in the Colombian case, arguing no French has changed their
FB avatar to show sympathy with the civil war the country lives in. Others
added to their avatars the flags of any other war scourged country. Personally I agree up to a point with them,
yes war has destroyed more lives in dozens of underdeveloped countries, including
mine, perhaps the premise which argues all lives around the world are worth the
same couldn’t be more accurate or right but developing from it an argument that
smears the importance and relevance of what happened in Paris is nothing but a
fallacy. I truly believe in freedom of thought and speech, that's in fact why I
feel the duty to write, so I must express my total disagreement with all those
people. First, a noble initiative, the one Facebook had with allowing users to
add a French flag filter to their avatars, doesn’t deserve by no reason the
attack of users. Second, this shows but the intolerance that fills the minds
and hearts of people, finally it also proves how people can be easily driven to
post and share without actually analyzing which is their position.
Also, the video of Reza Aslan can be easily
refuted, I'm not an atheist, no; but this website provides a strong answer to
Aslan's arguments.
